🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠
Monkfish: Females grow larger and live longer than male monkfish. Females live to at least 13 years and grow to more than 4.5 feet long, while males only live about 7 years and grow to almost 3 feet long. Females release large egg veils that can contain more than 1 million eggs. They float near the surface along with the prevailing currents for 1 to 3 weeks until the veil disintegrates and the larvae hatch.

Since you've sent me a ranking, allow me to send you one - three favorite legendary creatures?
Oh man that's a tough one, I sure love creechur. But (mario voice) here we go!
1- The Tarasque.
Such an absurd creature, an ancient pre-christian gallic myth that survived all this time, with the story of its demise still being celebrated in the original village where it supposedly happened to this day? Very difficult for me not to be completely entranced by this strange beast and having my heart filled with affection for it.
I mean. Just look at it. ♥
Tumblr media
2- Dragons
Though the Tarasque technically is a dragon, I do have to add them to that list, the more common ones people think of when they hear that name.
It's an undying classic, powerful and classy, and you can absolutely never go wrong with those beasts. They always slap. Never fails.
Tumblr media
3- The Monkfish (or Sea Monk)
I'm just. I'm fucking. Biaised towards that poor pathetic creature. Like. I mean. Just look at this fucking thing.
Tumblr media
This is a monk fish. It was supposedly found somewhere in the 1500s. Apparently it does fill some sort of ecclesiastic role to bless the mermaids down there or something. Like I'm being straight up this is what they said back then. THis is so fucking funny to me. My friends and I found out about it in a book about sea myths on a vacation and we cried laughing at him for the whole week we were there and now he's legitimately our symbol.
I'm talking 'printing a flag with this goddamn drawing on it' symbol. Taking this flag wherever we go and putting it up proudly like we're the monkfish nation.
Monkfish truthers rise up. We out there.

Lemon and Dill Monkfish
Tumblr media
The delicate flesh of this beautiful Lemon and Dill Monkfish is beautifully fragrant with fresh herb and citrus, and generously coated in a Hollandaise blanket, making it a tasty lunch! Happy Friday!
Ingredients (serves 3):
half a large lemon
4 fluffy sprigs Garden Dill + more for garnish
2 litres/8 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
a beautiful (about 395-gram/14-ounce) fresh monkfish tail
Dill and Schnapps Hollandaise, warmed, to serve
Cut lemon into slices, and add lemon slices to a large, deep skillet, wide enough to fit the fish. Add Dill sprigs and cover with the water.
Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, and cover with a lid. Allow to boil, for about 10 to 15 minutes, so the broth is fragrant. Season with coarse sea salt and black pepper.
Then, stir in Sauvignon Blanc, and lower the monkfish tail into the fragrant bath. Poach, about 10 to 12 minutes until cooked through.
Lift monkfish tail out of its court-bouillon, and drain before sitting onto serving tray. Drizzle generously with warm Dill and Schnapps Hollandaise, and garnish with reserved Dill sprigs.
Serve Lemon and Dill Monkfish immediately, with more Dill and Schnapps Hollandaise, steamed broccoli and a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc or other crisp white wine.

Somewhat strange creatures, the sea monks, coming from the seas of Denmark. These "fish" have quite the interesting appearance.

National Garlic Day 
If you think you have enough garlic, add more. These flavorful bulbs improve just about every dish you could think to put them in, so get cooking!
Garlic is beloved by a variety of cultures, with many people saying that there can never be too much garlic in a dish or a meal. For those people who love garlic, then garlic day is the perfect day!
National Garlic Day celebrates the history of garlic, in addition to its glorious taste and its incredible health benefits. National Garlic Day helps experts and average people alike to explore the history of this bulb, learning how it came to be one of the most popular flavors in the world.
The appreciation of garlic is never greater than on National Garlic Day!
History of National Garlic Day
Garlic is known as one of the most essential flavoring bulbs that have been used throughout human history. Wild garlic has been traced back to Central Asia more than 5000 years ago. While today garlic is now considered a significant part of Mediterranean cuisine, the ancient Romans weren’t actually massive fans of it, although their soldiers did use it to inspire courage.
The earliest uses of garlic in cooking were by the people of the Medieval and Renaissance times. It was only used in small doses in sauces because it was considered to be a peasant-food since it is technically just a root dug up from the ground. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that garlic was recognized by culinary chefs.
Garlic is now included in many dishes from different cultures, ranging along the Mediterranean, Italian, and French cuisines, as well as a variety of others. In American cuisine, it is thought that food critics such as James Beard and Craig Claiborne popularized garlic during the 20th century.
Garlic is also known for its magical and medicinal properties! These stretch so far as to include the ability to ward off creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and demons, but this may also just imply that the person who has eaten garlic has a bit of bad breath!
In addition to magical powers, garlic is known to have herbal medicinal properties, including being able to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
Today, garlic festivals exist throughout local towns in various places as garlic is used in many dishes all over the world.
So, why not grab a clove or two, peel them, and use them for the next dinner during National Garlic Day!
How to Celebrate National Garlic Day
To celebrate National Garlic Day, head on over to a local grocery store and get some fresh cloves of garlic or minced garlic. Bulbs can be found with the produce, while pre-minced garlic is sometimes available in a jar. Try out some favorite savory recipes and add garlic as a nice touch for a classic solution or a new twist.
Some of the best ways to celebrate National Garlic Day Celebration might include:
Join the Festivities at a Garlic Festival
Head on over to a garlic festival near you and enjoy all the creations people have made with this robust plant. Festivals are held throughout the year in Canada, Turkey, Australia, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other places.
Events often include different garlic-themed culinary treasures (garlic beer or garlic fudge, anyone?), garlic weaving, garlic poem-writing contests, garlic golf, garlic balancing games, and so much more.
Cook with More Garlic
Of course, the simplest way to celebrate garlic is to add more of it in the kitchen. It’s healthy, easily stored, and inexpensive. People on this day might choose to celebrate by using garlic in their recipes, which might include making garlic bread, a tomato sauce or garlic chicken. So buy a garlic press and get started adding it to recipes!
Visit the “Garlic Capital of the World”
Head on over to Gilroy, California, the garlic capital of the world, for those who truly want a taste of everything related to garlic. Hosting over three million visitors in its 30 year, garlicky history, this town’s festival offers games, crafts, competitions and various other activities all centered around the theme of garlic. Even in the off-season, there’s plenty to do, including shopping for garlic-related gifts at The Garlic Shoppe.
They even serve Garlic Ice Cream in this town!
Start Using Garlic for Your Health
Make some herbal remedies and see how garlic might bring improvement to health as well as life overall. For ease of use, garlic can be found at health food stores in pill form. Or, for even more zing, use freshly chopped or crushed garlic in salad dressings, marinades or even mixed with honey and hot water to create a potent tea. Garlic can also be used to create a homemade cough syrup.
Host a Garlic Party
Share this holiday with friends and family by hosting a garlic-themed party, handing out tasty treats and enjoying its savory flavor. Have guests bring their favorite dish that includes garlic. For entertainment, try some of the ideas inspired by activities at the garlic festivals.
And for a costume-themed party, ask guests to dress up as their favorite garlic-related character (fictional or otherwise), such as these:
Dracula, the vampire in Bram Stoker’s fictional tales, who is warded off when a character wears a wreath of garlic to keep her safe
Werewolf, another character which folklore reveals to be kept away by garlic
Garlic Junior, anime fans know this is a fictional demon that appears in Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone
Greek Olympic Athletes, in ancient times, these athletes were expected to eat a lot of garlic in order to improve their performance
Roman Soldiers, ancient guards and soldiers were rumored to have used garlic to give them courage and inspiration

Just because its still May, so here’s a quick, flat colour doodle of a merfolk character, who’s entirely unimportant. He’s definitely supporting material. Anko Viperfist is a Monkfish merman MNK, yes as in the MNK job from Final Fantasy. I am entirely surprised that no one has done this joke before. I even gave him gauntlets resembling the horrific face of the deep sea dragonfish. Yeah, based his outfit on the... iirc, one of the MNK’s artifact armor, with red coloration, a dragonfish pattern on the front, and a Ryu/Fighter Kirby bandana. Yeh. Tis but a taste of my art potential.
